SRZM Werkgroep meets Dagelijks Bestuur in Dwingeloo
| Submitter: | Jan Noordam |
| Description: | Around 1980, When ASTRON was still named the "Stichting Radiostraling van Zon en Melkweg" (SRZM), the great radio telescopes in Dwingeloo and Westerbork were designed, built and operated from a cluster of spartan barracks in Dwingeloo, under a local management team named the "Werkgroep". This WG enjoyed a lot of highly productive freedom, benignly overseen by a "Bestuur" recruted from the SRZM stakeholders in the various astronomy departments. The picture was taken at one of the regular joint meetings of the WG with the "Dagelijks Bestuur" (DB), a delegation of the full Board. Sitting, from left to right, the "Dagelijks Bestuur" (DB): Standing, from left to right, the local "Werkgroep" (WG): The Chair of the WG rotated among its members on a triannual basis. This system has advantages and disadvantages, but worked moderately well due to the quality of the people. |
